Methadone maintenance is a form of treatment for individuals in Ellerslie who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been around for decades now, and the general concept is that clients are no longer involved in the drug abusing behavior that was brought on by their addiction due to the methadone that they are being administered satisfies cravings and prevents withdrawal. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same neural receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a replacement for heroin and prescription pain killers.
People enrolled in methadone maintenance must dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be financially and logistically difficult, but some people feel it is a better choice than a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance therapy need to realize that methadone detox is considered way more difficult than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a moderate dosage of methadone, there are many detox centers that won't even accept methadone maintenance clients since detoxification can be very challenging and rates of relapse are considerably high.
